The company launched the VAPR TRIPOLAR 90 Suction electrode and the VAPR ARCTIC Suction Electrode. Here are five things to know:
1. The devices are hand-held, energy-based devices for orthopedic surgeons to ambulate or coagulate target soft tissue.
2. Surgeons co-developed the electrodes and participated in designing features to enhance performance, procedural efficiency and patient safety during shoulder and hip surgery.
3. The VAPR TRIPOLAR 90 Suction Electrode is used for shoulder arthroscopy primarily. It’s the first radiofrequency device with a proprietary tip to independently optimize and coagulate performance.
4. The VAPR ARCTIC Suction Electrode for hip arthroscopy is the first radiofrequency device combining bipolar energy flow, integrated suction and tip articulation in the same device. It’s able to flex up to 110 degrees.
5. Both electrodes use the company’s COOLPULSE technology for more efficient tissue ablation while generating equal or less heat than other products.
